To coincide with by Lysandre run, and in honor of Legends Z-A, I decided to start a Violet playthrough based on Kalos’ resident professor. While working on it, I figured I would go over some tips for your own Sycamore playthrough, what games are the best for it, and to approach a team for a character who doesn’t really have one traditionally.

When it comes to playthroughs, everyone has their own way of approaching them. What kind of team they want to use, how to make sure it has as much coverage as possible, and so on. When it comes to character themed playthroughs, there will be things that will pop up. Such as, what game a character playthrough will be best in, what to do when a character doesn’t have a full team, what to do when the game doesn’t have all of the Pokémon the character has, and move sets. Here, I’ll discuss a few tips that I feel could help with these questions.
